I had just setup a brand new CitrixXensource hypervisor server today for evaluation purpose. The really impress thing that attracted myself is the 8Vcpu per VM be able to configure which over take ESX servers 3.5 update 2 today. I know that VMware has their roadmap in the future to release the 8vcpu to support processing power hungry application to be virtualized in the future.

But if we compare the technology today, I believe most of us will see that from virtual cpu perspective, VMware had been quite slow respond on that. If you do spoke to most of the VMware representative or consultant, they always told you not to allocate more than 1 Vcpu if not required.
